Tiles on my mind

While we are at it (and while I am still obsessed with it) I thought I would deviate from tiling nightmares into tile dreams.
The absolutely fantastic Spanish Tiles with moorish influences and Mediterranean colors are an unbeatable kaleidoscope of colors and designs. The aquamarines and yellows are great in bathrooms, kitchen and my favorite, steps.

You can find a more detailed history of Spanish ceramics here.
Closer home similar Arabesque tiles are found in many mughal monuments. Chini Ka Rauza is the tomb of Allama Afzal Khan, Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan's prime minister and gets its name from the colorful tiles (chini) that cover the walls of the tomb. Blue, green and yellow glazed tiles embellish this medieval mausoleum in Agra.
Not too far from Agra, one can find the traditional Jaipur tiles ( I am told one can find them around Delhi's Janpath too). I don't see a whole wall of these , but maybe a few accents here and there.
And then again, there are those southern beauties-Attangudi Tiles
To quote an article in The Hindu

"Long before even mosaic tiles became fashionable, the people of a little village called Attangudi in Tamil Nadu had perfected the art of making decorative cement floor tiles. These tiles needed no special machines and not even baking, as the ingredient used was not clay, but sand and cement. Just bare hands, a clean glass, and a mould were enough. Certain designs didn't even need the mould."

(Read the complete article here.)


The Hindu article mentions that Attangudi tiles come at a rate of approx. Rs 25/square foot, which is a lot lower than the Rs. 35/square foot that I am paying for the run of the mill Kajaria variety!!
Then again the unfortunate truth is that the traditional though prettier, cheaper and more eco friendly is less accessible than the mass produced more expensive variety.

Does anyone know where can one source Attangudi Tiles from?
